Shuaibah Expansion IWP
The Project was requested by the Government to be developed on an urgent basis to add 150,000 m3/d net water desalination capacity. SAMAWEC, the successful bidder for the Shuaibah IWPP, was invited to submit a proposal to develop the Project broadly under the same economics and contractual arrangements as the Shuaibah IWPP. The Project is located on a reclaimed land south of Shuaibah III IWPP. The Project is currently on full production.
